You don't use a postulate. You need to use the Hypotenuse-Leg Theorem.

Theorem: Let represent the set of right triangles, represent the measure of the hypotenuse of the th right triangle and represent the measure of the leg of the th right triangle that corresponds to the leg of any other right triangle being considered. Then
